$30,000 Bond Set In Student Fondlings

February 20, 1986

A $30,000 bond was set Wednesday for a former school volunteer accused of sexually abusing two 10-year-old girls at Holy Cross School, 6547 S. Maryland Ave. Fredrick Cocroft, 23, of 1123 N. Waller Ave., was on probation for taking indecent liberties with a child in another incident when he allegedly fondled the two youngsters at Holy Cross, said public defender John Westley. The school had not been aware of the earlier incident, Westley said. The crimes allegedly occurred Jan. 24, 1985, and Cocroft was immediately fired from his volunteer post at the school, Westley said. But he said police didn`t find Cocroft until he turned himself in this week. Cocroft also faces a violation of probation charge.
